I don't have "Hizz ya Wiz" , but have always thought about it because Amina's group did some interesting things when I saw them perform. Gaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh, so many things to watch!!!

Hizz ya Wizz is good, and you get definite bang for your buck. Lots of styles are represented--don't have it in front of me but I recall beledi and sharqi, Nubian, Fellahi, Melaya Lef. Group numbers and solos, oriental and folkloric, and both men and women dancers. Plus some live music, some dervish. Very straightforward in terms of filming and production, but a very broad representation of styles from Amina and her crew.
